The second edit is the real test for photoreal image tools

The first pretty frame is a weak test.

A generator can invent a glossy living room and still fail the job that actually ships: keep the same sofa, the same face, and the same window after you ask for a warmer bulb or a different wall.

What I check now

1. Start from an existing still, not a blank prompt.
2. Change only one thing: background, wardrobe, or light.
3. Ask whether the SKU color, camera height, and wood grain still match.

If any of those drift, the draft is a mood board. If they hold across three revisions, the file can go into a listing or an ad.

Why blank-canvas tools stall

Text-to-image wins the sample. Image-to-image plus a reference still is the part that keeps identity. Most tools I tried bounce between those two jobs, so the second edit starts over.

I have been running that check in Photoreal AI 生图工具. The useful part is not a feature list. It is whether a stranger can keep the product angle while the room changes.

A small protocol

• Write the subject, camera, and lighting first.
• Pin one reference photo.
• Generate three versions and throw out any that change the lens height.
• Only then change background or mood.

If that protocol becomes ordinary, photorealism stops being a style word and becomes a constraint: the object did not change, only the light did.
